Deaf Digest reports in their February 4, 2007 edition: News of the Week: Marlee Matlin times two; first – she is sign singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl; chances are high that because she is a celebrity, the TV cameras will focus on her, instead of focusing away, as was the case in the past Super Bowl ASL renditions.

Secondly, she is making a movie – the plot very thinly patterned after the Gallaudet University football team. Her movie “Silent Knights” features a big time collegiate football coach who had a bad automobile accident but comes back to coach a “Division 3 deaf football program.”

The only Division 3 deaf football program we know of is Gallaudet University.
